"Built between 1898 and 1904, these commercial Italianate buildings have a simple vernacular design, similar to others on Main Street. The bracketed metal cornice and segmental arch lintel (on the building on the left) are ubiquitous on Main Street. While the round arch windows on the building on the right are not unusual, the halo-like treatment of the window in unique in Stoughton. The prism glass transoms above the display windows on the storefront are unusually well preserved." Rebecca Sample Bernstein for the City of Stoughton Landmarks Commission and Downtown Revitalization Association, Historic Main Street: An Architectural & Historical Guide to Downtown Stoughton, 1991.
